The Flow Screen is a big play tool that gives us a chance to rip off big
chunks of yardage when defenses overreact! They are known as Flow
Screens because we work hard to create defensive flow in one
direction by creating the look of a particular play (run pass screen or
bootleg! then throwing back behind a wall of blockers in the opposite
direction!
The goal is to S"#$%$T" the frontside of the defense fro& the backside'()*" as &any defenders
in one direction as possible then S"$+ the& off with our receiver and ,enter then S"#$%$T" the&
with our guards kick-out block giving our screener a lane to run through!
.e can literally screen to any eligible receiver we have and we can bring hi& fro& anywhere as
long as he gets to the / 0 / screen spot1 .e can also give our flow screens different looks by
&arrying the& to different run and pass actions &aking the& good co&pli&ents to our best
plays!
Situationally Flow Screens can be used on all down 2 distances all the way through the %ed 3one!
